Abstract:
We present a new clamping and handling method for microgears featuring a compliant string. The method simplifies the fixturing and setup process prior to dimensional measurements. The method has been verified experimentally and by FEM simulations. The low-cost prototype shows several advantages over conventional clamping methods like gluing or collet clamping. The clamp is part of a microenvironment that also features a particle shield, cleaning capability and sensors that monitor the direct measurement environment.
